Streaming Services


Hello, Folks -

In an attempt to (somewhat) get with the times, I am incorporating streaming as a source in my audio system.

In my research I’ve seen that sound quality varies among the providers.

I’m looking for a provider suggestion. A service that you feel has high sound quality.

For the most part this would be for classical music. Some classic rock and jazz would be a plus.

I’m a fuddy duddy with my equipment and am not looking to change anything out. What I have:

Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC

Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS Preamp

Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Block Power Amps

Vandersteen Quattro Loudspeakers

PGS interconnects

MacBook Pro

Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much for reading my post.

Regards,

Randy

+1 @fuzztone. However, none of the streaming services will sound as good as local music files, so understand there are limitations, even with Quobuz. I’ve seen audio magazine reviewers use albums from streaming services for their reviews. I don’t know how they can do that considering the level of inconsistency in sound and the number of variables there are with internet streaming. Good luck and enjoy.
